The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of toxigenic and infections at health care facility-onset (HCFO) and community-onset (CO), in two health care centers (HCC) in Bogotá, Colombia. A total of 220 stool samples from patients presenting diarrhea acquired at HCFO or CO were analyzed by several PCR tests.
We found that 65.5% (n = 144) of the population had infection, followed by toxigenic with 57.3% (n = 126), and finally toxigenic with a frequency of 32.7% (n = 72).
This study is the first molecular detection and characterization of and in HCFO and CO in Latin America and demonstrates a relevant frequency of these two species, including coinfection and strikingly diverse toxigenic profiles, especially in the CO.
本研究的目的是评估在哥伦比亚波哥大的两个医疗中心,医疗保健机构发病(HCFO)和社区发病(CO)时产毒和感染的频率。通过多种聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测分析了从HCFO或CO获得腹泻症状的患者的总共220份粪便样本。
我们发现65.5%(n = 144)的人群有感染,其次是产毒,占57.3%(n = 126),最后是产毒,频率为32.7%(n = 72)。
本研究是拉丁美洲首次对HCFO和CO中的[具体病原体名称]进行分子检测和鉴定,并证明了这两个物种的相关频率,包括合并感染以及显著不同的产毒谱,尤其是在CO中。
